My family had a little emergency today, and now that it’s behind us, I would like to thank Hatzalah of Crown Heights.
My 4 year old son fell, which resulted in a pretty big gash.
We called Hatzalah and R’ Yingy Bistritzky came and cleaned up the cut with such gentle and caring hands that my son did not even cry.
Then he called a plastic surgeon in the Beth Israel Hospital in NYC and asked if he can see his patient on short notice.
When we got to the hospital, the doctor was there waiting for us and brought us in, past the waiting room and lines. We were out in less than an hour. It was unreal!
All I can say is that we are very lucky to have these dedicated people amongst us in our community.
Sincerely,
Ephraim
You are a true inspiration to our family. You set the bar very high for us!!! Wishing you much hatzlacha, nachas and gezunt!! Love ya!
Yingy, thank you for arranging a plastic surgeon to meet me at the hospital when my daughter fell and cut her head. When we got to the hospital, the doctor was there waiting for us and brought us in, past the waiting room and lines. We were out in less than an hour. It was unreal!
All I can say is that we are very lucky to have these dedicated people amongst us in our community. thank you, naftali berkowitz.
Thank you for your dedicated work 24 hrs a day!
i was once sitting in 770 and someone went over to thank him for a call and said i want to send your wife somthing for you not being home and his reply was PLEASE dont send me anything because it will look like all the other of hundreds of people who dont thank and send things are selfish and not caring, the point i took was we never need to go out of our way to thank in a big fashion and or letter in fact it can have a negative effect, after all you think the author of… Read more »
My wife and I were driving together down sterling street and Franklin ave,I looked at the light at the beginning of the block and never looked again. When I got to the intersection I caused a 5 car accident. Every black guy that lives in those apartment buildings came running out screaming at us. My wife in her quick thinking called hatzaloh and it explained that we were being surrounded by peopl screaming at us, she said to the dispatcher to please send help quickly and to get us out of there. Within 2 minutes superman YINGY was there and… Read more »
Nothing can top this !!! My mom was in lenox hill and I needed to move her to another hospital they were killing her it was the worst team of doctors! To move to another hospital was against medical advice. every dr. said you can’t move her. no one would sign the release! I called super yingy he came with a group of hatozala members with a stretcher and waited in front of the nursing station screaming transport. the nurses were so scared of yingy that in no time at all they found the right person to release her and… Read more »
Beside for what Yingy does in Hatzalah in our community-it is important to mention what he does for people concerning other major issues. There is no one, except for Yingy in this community-for couples who are going through terrible situations to turn to. It is important for people to recognize what Yingy does and appreciate his time, money, care and devotion that he gives . Yingy doesnt get paid for being on the phone at all hours of the day and night, giving advice to couples and making the appropriate arrangements for situations that are dire. The list goes on…..May… Read more »
Yingy is a physical MALACH!!!! And so very intuitive!! He can read into situations without being told many details beforehand!!! Hashem should continue to bentch him with MORE and MORE and MORE GEZUNT!!!!
Good job gys. Keep it up
Not even all these wonderful praises is even enough to describe the man that Yingy the tzadek is. He is absolutely awesome
It’s so nice to see a web site that praises people for their actions now in their life and not have to G-d forbid wait at the end of life to hear the amazing things that many in the community do. keep sharing nice words about others, and yes while they are alive to hear it!!
I think this is a good opportunity to thank not only Yingy for his amazing care and work, but all the many devoted Hatzolah members, both in Crown Heights, and New York in general.
Thank you! and may we have no more need for you – very soon!
Yingy doesn’t stop, he’s one of the most amazing people in crown heights. Crown heights is blessed to have a man like him there.
We lived on crown st. and have witnessed many early morning and late runs that he and his father did.
He always does the right thing at the right time. We got your back….
yes it is nice to hear this story. but the exact same scene with yingi repeats itself day in and day out. for the last 40 years. in hatzalh and in other areas of chesed. being a private person we all dont hear the hundreds if not thousands of personal stories where yingi helped beyond the call of duty. and we were to start wring them all this website wont have enough space. but we cant forget the over 2 years of his life he gave to the rebbe after chuf zayin adar. and we cant forget the millions he… Read more »
Yingy is so amazing….11 years ago when our family suffered a terrible tragedy it was yingy who helped us out in so many ways!!!!
I don’t know if the members of CH are aware of the fact that Yingy started CH Hatzola with his father at the age of 17. He has never put himself before the people of the community and has selflessky served us all since then. I had an emergency delivery and he was there among many other emergencies. This past year during the Tornado in CH not many know that Yingy sat all night in the ambulance just in case someone would need him and if the storm would be bad he wouldn’t be able to get there fast enough!… Read more »
There are no words that one could say that would be sufficient to describe the man that YINGY is. To say the words KIND, COMPASSIONATE, CARING,GENTLE, THOUGHTFUL, UNDERSTANDING,PATIENT,DEVOTED, are not even enough. He is a malach for the crown heights community and to all those that are fortunate to know him. Hashem should bless you Yingy with Hakol-Bakol-Mekol more .
Uncle Yingy, Hashem should repay you for all the Chessed that you so selflessly do for the community at all hours of the day, rain or shine!
Yingy, Hashem should bless you . You saved my father many years ago ….From a old neighbor in himmels… Living in a far away land …

Reb Yingy is a serious Tzaddik of our generation and all generations! You’re the best, we are blessed!
a few years back we had a real emergency,hatzaloh was over in less than a minute and we were in Maimonides within 11 min of placing the call!!! I know that my daughter is alive thanks to the shluchim of hashem “hatzalah” on a different occasion one of my children was really sick and we spent some time in the hospital. YINGY came over and brought me food, would call every day and asked me what i needed, it was summertime and friends and family were away but i had yingy to take care of me while i was taking… Read more »
Yingy, your an inspiration to us. And continue to amaze me with your unconditional devotion and commitment to helping another person.

is Da Man
I couldn’t agree more. We are lucky to have him here.
I had a situation where I needed hatzolah and Yingy went all out for me!! He rushed me to the hospital, researched the credentials of the surgeon that i was going to have, checked up on me afterward my surgery at the hospital and made sure i had food to eat at my house during my recovery. I too am so thankful to have R’ Yingy in our community!
